Les problèmes de santé liés à l’alimentation hyperlipidique chez l’humain sont en constante progression. Or, une perturbation de l’environnement fœtal induit chez la descendance une susceptibilité plus grande à développer des maladies à l’âge adulte (DOHad : Developmental Origins of Health and Disease). L’objectif de ce travail de Thèse est d’évaluer, chez le lapin, les conséquences d’une alimentation hypercholestérolémique et hyperlipidique sur le développement embryonnaire, fœtal, et la survenue de troubles métaboliques à long terme.Nous avons nourri des lapines ad libitum avec un régime hypercholéstérolémique (0,2%) et hyperlipidique (8%) (HH) ou un régime témoin (C) à partir de l'âge de 10 (expérience 1) ou de 18 semaines (age de la mise à la reproduction, expérience 2). A la naissance, les portées ont été équilibrées et des croisements effectués pour différencier l'effet de l'alimentation de la mère pendant la gestation et pendant la lactation. Ainsi des lapereaux nés de mères HH ont été allaités par des mères C (groupe HH-C) ou HH (groupe HH-HH) et des lapereaux nés de mère C ont été allaités par des mères C (groupe C-C) ou HH (groupe C-HH). Au cours de l’expérience 1, un retard de croissance intra utérin (RCIU) significatif a été mis en évidence dès 9 jours de gestation par échographie dans le groupe HH (P<0,05). A la naissance, les laperaux étaient significativement plus légers (P<0,05). En raison d’un rattrapage pondéral rapide, il n’existait plus de différence significative au sevrage. Tous les lapins ont alors reçu un aliment témoin distribué ad libitum. A J176, il n’y avait pas de différence de poids entre les groupes HH-HH et HH-C, mais les animaux de ces deux groupes étaient significativement plus lourds que les groupes C-C and C-HH (P<0.05). De plus, la tension artérielle était plus élevée dans le groupe HH-HH par rapport à tous les autres groupes (P<0.05). Au cours de l’expérience 2, de tels effets physiologiques n’ont pas été observés. Les effets physiologiques n'ayant été observés que lorsque le régime avait été commencé avant la gestation, nous avons émis l'hypothèse que l'environnement maternel précoce avait été modifié, entrainant une perturbation du développement embryonnaire à l'origine des conséquences à long terme. l’expression des gènes au moment de la mise en route du génome embryonnaire a été étudié à l’aide d’une puce dédiée. L’analyse transcriptomique a permis de suggérer que certains transcrits étaient présents en quantités différentes. Nous avons montré par qRT-PCR que le régime HH induit une augmentation transitoire de la quantité de transcrit de l’adipophiline (présente à J2 mais pas à J5,5). L’analyse immunohistochimique montre une quantité plus importante de gouttelettes lipidiques localisées près du noyau dans les embryons issus de mères nourries par le régime HH à J5,5 comparé aux témoins. Ces résultats illustrent l’importance de la nutrition avant et pendant la gestation pour la determination de la croissance in utero et postnatale, ainsi que pour le développement de maladies métaboliques à long terme. La nutrition maternelle avant la gestation peut engendrer des modifications d’expression de gènes au moment de la transmission materno embryonnaire. / The prevalence of human health problems associated with high-fat diets continues to rise, as does the number of such problems known to be associated with this diet. Disruption of the fetal environment induces in progeny a greater susceptibility to developing diseases in adulthood (DOHad: Developmental Origins of Health and Disease). The objective of the work for this thesis was to assess in rabbits the consequences of a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet on embryonic and fetal development and on the onset of metabolic disorders in the long term.We fed rabbits ad libitum with a high-cholesterol (0.2%) and high-fat (8%) (HH) diet or a control (C) diet, starting at the age of 10 (experiment 1) or 18 weeks (age at which reproduction began, experiment 2).The litters were balanced at birth, and crossings were performed to differentiate the effect of the mother's food during gestation and during lactation. Accordingly, rabbits born to HH mothers were nursed by C (HH-C group) or HH (HH-HH) mothers and those born to C mothers were nursed either by C (C-C) or HH (C-HH) mothers. During experiment 1, ultrasound clearly showed significant intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) beginning at 9 days of gestation in the HH group (P<0.05). At birth, these rabbits weighed significantly less than their C counterparts (P<0.05). Because of their rapid weight catch-up, the significant difference had disappeared at weaning. All the rabbits thereafter received control food distributed ad libitum. At D176, there was no difference in weight between the HH-HH and HH-C groups but the animals in both these groups were significantly heavier than those in the C-C and C-HH groups (P<0.05). Moreover, blood pressure was higher in the HH-HH group than in any of the other groups (P<0.05). These physiological effects were not observed during experiment 2. Because the physiological effects were observed only when the diet began before gestation, we hypothesized that the early maternal environment been modified, a change that resulted in disruption of embryo development with long-term consequences. We then used a specially designed chip to study gene expression at the maternal to embryonic transition. Transcriptomic analysis suggested that some transcripts were present in different quantities. We showed with qRT-PCR that the HH diet induced a transient augmentation in the quantity of adipophilin transcripts (present at D2 but not at D5.5). The immunohistochemical analysis on D5.5 showed a higher quantity of lipid droplets localized near the nucleus of embryos from mothers fed with the HH diet than in embryos of control mothers. These results illustrate the importance of nutrition before and during pregnancy in the determination of in utero and postnatal growth as well as in the development of metabolic diseases over the long term. Maternal nutrition before conception can engender modifications in gene expression at the moment of the maternal to embryonic transition.

<p>Conclusion of this study: These data suggest that 6 weeks of high-fat feeding induces hypertension but does not produce obesity, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. However, this model may be useful in studying vascular reactivity in hypertension in the absence of insulin resistance.</p>

O ψευδάργυρος -Zn ελέγχει τον μεταβολισμό των λιπιδίων και γλυκόζης μέσω Ζn-μεταγραφικών παραγόντων. Δίαιτες υψηλών λιπαρών οδηγούν στην ενδοκυτταρική συσσώρευση ελευθέρων ριζών, μειώνουν την μεταγραφική έκφραση των εκκαθαριστών τους και την ενεργότητα αντιοξειδωτικών ενζύμων και οδηγούν σε μεταβολικό σύνδρομο.

Zinc deficiency or excessiveness , in HFDiets , decreases plasma TAC in WT and Tg mice, while SOD activity shows proportional to Zn levels. Zinc deficiency or excessiveness increases the atherogenic SFA and decreases the anti –atherogenic lipids : PC, DU, LA DIAL ,UFA, in HDL, nonHDL and liver, in WΤ-HFD and Τg-HFD mice 3. HSP70s : Transgenic mice over-expressing hHsp70 gene and exposed either to Zn deficiency or Zn excessiveness , both driving usually to metabolic syndrome , reveal significantly better lipid profile indicators, comparing to WT mice.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A doença hepática gordurosa não alcoólica é uma desordem multifatorial causada principalmente por excesso nutricional e resistência à insulina, com prevalência estimada de 20-40% nos países ocidentais. A dieta hiperlipídica e/ou rica em sacarose pode influenciar no desenvolvimento da esteatose hepática associada à obesidade e a resistência à insulina. O fígado, por assumir papel central no controle metabólico, é um órgão alvo nos casos de excesso alimentar, ocasionando, principalmente, acúmulo de gotículas de gordura nos hepatócitos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o início das alterações morfológicas e metabólicas no fígado e no tecido adiposo de camundongos suíços machos alimentados com dieta hiperlipídica e/ou rica em sacarose. Camundongos suíços machos aos três meses de idade foram divididos em quatro grupos nutricionais: dieta padrão (SC), dieta hiperlipídica (HF), dieta rica em sacarose (HSu) e dieta hiperlipídica rica em sacarose (HFHSu). Os animais receberam as respectivas dietas durante quatro semanas. A massa corporal, a ingestão alimentar e a tolerância oral à glicose foram avaliados. Ao sacrifício, o fígado e os depósitos de gordura corporal foram removidos e processados para análises histomorfométricas e moleculares. As amostras de sangue foram obtidas para análises bioquímicas plasmáticas. Os dados foram expressos como média e erro padrão da média e as diferenças foram testadas por one-way ANOVA com pós-teste de Holm-Sidak, e foi considerado o nível de significância de p<0,05. Os grupos HF e HFHSu apresentaram-se mais pesados quando comparados aos grupos SC e HSu. Os animais dos grupos HF, HSu e HFHSu apresentaram intolerância à glicose, esteatose hepática e aumento de triglicerídeos hepáticos quando comparados ao grupo SC (p<0,0005). Adicionalmente, houve elevação na expressão hepática das proteínas transportador de glicose 2 (GLUT-2), proteína de ligação ao elemento regulador do esterol 1-c (SREBP1-c), fosfoenolpiruvato carboxiquinase (PEPCK), glicose -6- fosfatase (G6PASE), substrato do receptor da insulinaI-1 (IRS-1) e proteína quinase B (AKt/ou PKB) e redução da expressão no fígado do receptor ativador de proliferação peroxissomal (PPAR-&#945;) nos grupos experimentais em comparação com o grupo SC (p<0,0005). A administração de dieta hiperlipídica e/ou rica em sacarose promoveu intolerância à glicose e danos hepáticos (hepatomegalia, esteatose, redução da beta-oxidação, aumento na lipogênese e na produção de glicose) em camundongos machos adultos. / The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a multifactorial disorder caused mainly by excess nutritional and insulin resistance, with an estimated prevalence of 20-40% in Western countries. The diet can to influence in the development of fatty liver associated with obesity and insulin resistance. The liver plays a central role in metabolic control, is a target organ, in case of excess of food, mainly causing accumulation of fat droplets in hepatocytes. This study aimed to evaluate the early morphological and metabolic changes in the liver and adipose tissue of male Swiss mice fed high-fat and/or high-sucrose diets. Twenty three-month-old male Swiss Webster mice were divided into 4 groups: standard chow (SC), high-fat diet (HF), high-sucrose diet (HSu) and high-fat-high-sucrose diet (HFHSu). Animals received the respective diets for 4 weeks; throughout the experiment, body mass, food intake and oral glucose tolerance were evaluated. After the mice were euthanized, the liver was removed and processed for histomorphometrical and molecular analysis. Blood samples were obtained for serum analysis. The data were tested by one-way ANOVA with a Holm-Sidak post-hoc test and were expressed as the mean standard error of the mean; the significance level was set at p < 0.05. The HF and HFHSu groups were heavier than the SC and HSu groups. Animals from the HF, HSu and HFHSu groups presented glucose intolerance, hepatomegaly, liver steatosis and augmented hepatic triglycerides when compared to the SC group (p<0.0005). Additionally, there was an elevation in glucose transporter 2 (GLUT-2), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), glucose 6 phosphatase (G6PASE), insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), protein kinase B (AKT/ or PKB) protein expression and a reduction in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha) expression in liver from the experimental groups compared to those of the SC group (p<0.0005). Administration of high-fat and/or high-sucrose diets promoted glucose intolerance and liver damage (hepatomegaly, steatosis, reduced beta-oxidation, increased lipogenesis and glucose production) in adult male mice.

Well functioning circadian system is crucial component of healthy organism and its disruption can result in impairment of metabolic functions with consequential development of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity is in general caused by enhanced migration of pro- inflammatory polarized macrophages (M1) into adipose tissue. We have shown, that interaction of this type of macrophages with adipose tissue had significant effect on rhythmic expression of clock genes in adipocytes. We further investigated effect of high fat diet and diet enriched by omega-3 fatty acids on circadian oscillations in WAT and differently polarized macrophages. This diet affected oscillations in adipose tissue and in M0 and M2 polarized macrophages. These results support previous findings of effect of omega-3 fatty acids on metabolism and suggest their effect on circadian system as well. Key words: circadian rhythms, adipose tissue, macrophages, omega-3 fatty acids, high fat diet

Objetivo: Sabe-se que trabalhadores noturnos tem preferência por lanches com maior concentração de gordura saturada. Trabalhadores de turno, particularmente trabalhadores noturnos, apresentam mais frequentemente hipertrigliceridemia e hiperglicemia, bem como menores níveis de HDL-colesterol quando comparados a trabalhadores diurnos, devido a alterações circadianas e estilo de vida, sugerindo uma predisposição para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares. Estas alterações são conhecidas como Síndrome Metabólica (SM). Portanto, para entender as conseqüências de uma dieta hiperlipídica é importante a padronização de dietas para modelos animais que mimetizem a alimentação do trabalhador de turno. Materiais e Método: estudo experimental com 20 ratos Wistar dos quais 10 eram controle (CG) e 10 submetidos à dieta hiperlipídica (HFD). Utilizaram-se três dos cinco critérios do NCEP-ATP III para diagnóstico de SM - glicose, triglicerídeos (TG) e HDL-col. A quantidade de tecido adiposo visceral (TAV) foi avaliada bem como o peso do fígado e das glândulas adrenais. O peso ponderal foi avaliado semanalmente e o a ingestão alimentar e hídrica diariamente. Foi utilizado o t-test de Student’s para amostras independentes. Resultados: não houve diferença significante entre os grupos para glicose, HDL-col e TG na medida basal. Após 15 semanas de intervenção, grupo HFD mostrou um aumento dos níveis de TG (p=0,01) e glicose (p=0,01) e diminuição de HDL-col (p=0,009) quando comparados com CG. Grupo HFD apresentou maior TAV (p=0,005) e peso do fígado (p=0,01). CG mostrou um aumento de ingestão alimentar e hídrica (p<0,001 e p<0,001 respectivamente) enquanto que o consumo energético foi maior no grupo HFD (p<0,001). Não foi encontrada diferença no peso das glândulas adrenais (p=0,07) e peso ponderal (p=0,63). Conclusão: os animais submetidos à dieta hiperlipídica apresentaram alterações metabólicas apesar da manutenção do peso corporal. Não foi encontrada correlação entre peso corporal e quantidade de TAV, sugerindo que o peso corporal não é preditor para quantidade de gordura corporal e que a composição da dieta influi diretamente nos marcadores de SM. / Background and Aim: Shift workers, particularly night workers, more frequently present metabolic changes when compared to day workers suggesting a predisposition for cardiovascular disease. These changes are known as Metabolic Syndrome (MS). Therefore, to increase understanding of the consequences of a high-fat diet it is important to standardize a diet for experimental animals that mimics the shift workers’ diet and its effects. Methods and Results: experimental study with 20 Wistar rats of which 10 were control group (CG) and 10 high-fat diet group (HFD). Three of five criteria for MS diagnosis from NCEP-ATP III were assessed. The amount of visceral adipose tissue was determined (VAT). Body weight was assessed weekly and food and water intake were measured daily. Student’s t-test for independent samples was used. The groups were similar at baseline. After fifteen weeks of intervention, HFD group showed an increase in serum TG (p=0.01) and glucose (p=0.01) levels and a decrease in HDL (p=0.009) compared to CG. HFD showed increased VAT (p=0.005) and liver weight (p=0.01). Food intake and water intake were higher in CG (p<0.001 and p<0.001 respectively) while energy intake was increased in HFD (p<0.001). No difference was found in adrenal glands weight (p=0.07) and body weight (p=0.63). Conclusion: Animals submitted to HFD present significant metabolic alterations in spite of the maintenance of body weight. Body weight is not a predictive factor for the amount of VAT and that the quality of diet composition direct influences MS markers.

Centro de Pesquisas Gonçalo Moniz. Salvador, Bahia, Brasil / O diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é uma disfunção metabólica que afeta milhões de pessoas em números crescentes em todo o mundo. É caracterizado pela resistência dos tecidosalvo à insulina e/ou defeitos na sua secreção, acarretando uma hiperglicemia crônica, que pode gerar danos no sistema cardiovascular, nervoso, olhos, rins e fígado e representam um ônus para os sistemas de saúde. Doença de etiologia múltipla, o DM2 resulta da interação entre predisposição genética e fatores ambientais, destacando-se a obesidade. O tratamento do DM2 geralmente envolve mudanças de hábito e drogas anti-hiperglicemiantes ou hipoglicemiantes que podem acarretar efeitos colaterais. As recentes descobertas sobre a plasticidade e o potencial terapêutico das células-tronco de medula óssea indicam uma possível aplicação destas no tratamento do DM2 e suas complicações. Para investigar esse potencial, foi estabelecido um modelo de diabetes em camundongos C57Bl/6 através da administração de dieta hipergordurosa. Após o período de indução, os animais apresentavam obesidade, hiperglicemia, intolerância à glicose, proteinúria e esteato-hepatite não-alcoólica. Camundongos C57Bl/6 fêmeas não desenvolvem obesidade, hiperglicemia e DM2 quando submetidas à mesma dieta que os machos. Apenas os machos foram então tratados com células mononucleares de medula óssea e acompanhados durante seis meses. A terapia com células mononucleares de medula óssea não reduz o peso corpóreo dos animais obesos e diabéticos. Três e seis meses após a terapia, não foi observada redução da glicemia de jejum dos animais.Três meses após a terapia, observou-se redução da intolerância a glicose nos animais alimentados com dieta high-fat.Houve uma redução da fibrose perissinusoidal no fígado após 3 meses de terapia e esta diferença se manteve até 6 meses após a terapia. / Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder that affects millions of people and grows worldwide. It is characterized by insulin resistance in peripheral tissues and/or impaired insulin secretion, leading to chronic hyperglycemia associated with long-term consequences that include damage and dysfunction of the cardiovascular system, eyes, kidneys and nerves. T2DM is a multifactorial disease determined by genetic and environmental factors, especially obesity. The usual treatment involves antihyperglycemic and hypoglycemic drugs that can provoke undesirable side effects. Recent findings on hematopoietic stem cell plasticity and therapeutic potential suggest their use as an alternative treatment for T2DM and its consequences. In order to investigate this potential, a model of diabetes was induced in C57Bl/6 mice through administration of a high-fat diet. Animals developed obesity, hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, proteinuria and nonalcoholic steato-hepatitis. Female C57Bl/6 mice do not developed obesity, hyperglycemia and T2DM when submitted the male’s diet. After the induction period, only the male mice were treated with bone marrow mononuclear cells and observed during 6 months. Cell mononuclear from bone marrow therapy do not reduced body weight from obesity and diabetes animals. Three and six months after the therapy, we do not observed reduction from glycemia. Three months after the therapy, observed reduction glucose intolerance in mice high-fat fed. Reduction in fibrosis perisinusoidal liver after thee months from therapy and this difference still until six months after therapy.

As dietas ricas em lipídios saturados provocam efeitos deletérios no metabolismo de glicose, secreção de adipocinas e inflamação, entretanto, outros tipos de lipídios podem modular de forma diferenciada tais efeitos. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o efeito de diferentes dietas hiperlipídicas no metabolismo de carboidratos, lipídios, no tecido adiposo e no fígado. Camundongos machos C57BL/6 foram divididos em 5 grupos (n=10/grupo): animais que receberam dieta controle (standart chow, SC, 10% de lipídios, grupo controle) e animais que receberam diferentes dietas hiperlipídicas (High-fat, HF, 60% de lipídios): à base de banha de porco (lard, grupo HF-L), à base de óleo de oliva (olive oil, grupo HF-O), à base de óleo de girassol (sunflower oil, grupo HF-S) e à base de óleo de canola (canola oil, grupo HF-Ca).Os animais foram alimentados com as dietas experimentas por 10 semanas. Diariamente a ingestão alimentar era verificada e semanalmente a massa corporal foi aferida. A glicose de jejum e o teste intraperitoneal de tolerância a insulina (TITI) foram realizados uma semana antes da eutanásia. No dia da eutanásia o sangue foi coletado, o tecido adiposo e o fígado dissecados e pesados. A insulina, leptina, adiponectina, resistina, fator de necrose tumoral alfa (TNF&#945;), interleucina-6 (IL-6), proteína quimiotática de monócitos-1 (MCP-1) e inibidor do ativador de plasminogênio-1 (PAI-1) foram dosadas por ELISA. Com os dados de insulina e glicose foi calculado o índice HOMA-IR. Os animais dos grupos HF-L e HF-O apresentaram os maiores valores de insulina, resistina, leptina e HOMA-IR em comparação aos outros grupos (P < 0,0001). No grupo HF-L, os níveis de IL-6 foram maiores quando comparados com os demais grupos (P < 0,0005), enquanto os valores de adiponectina foram os menores (P < 0,0001). A quantidade de gordura subcutânea e visceral foi maior no grupo HF-L e este grupo apresentou também um aumento no diâmetro dos adipócitos. Entretanto a relação:visceral:subcutânea foi maior nos grupos HF-L e HF-O quando comparado com os demais grupos. Além disso, houve aumento de triglicérides hepáticos e de esteatose hepática nos animais dos grupos HF-L e HF-O. Nossos achados nos permitem concluir que animais que são alimentados com dietas hiperlipídica, a distribuição do tecido adiposo, o metabolismo de carboidratos, acumulo de triglicérides hepáticos e esteatose hepática são mais influenciados pelo tipo de lipídios do que pela quantidade. / Diets rich in saturated fat have a deleterious effect on glucose metabolism, adipokine release and inflammation. However, other lipid sources may modulate these parameters differently. Thus, the aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of high-fat diets from different sources on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, adipose tissue and liver. Male C57BL/6 mice were allocated into 5 groups (n=10/group): standard chow fed mice (SC, 10% lipid, control group), and mice fed with high-fat diets (HF, 60% lipids) as follow: lard (HF-L), olive oil (HF-O), sunflower oil (HF-S), and canola oil (HF-C). Diets were offered for 10 weeks. Food intake was recorded daily and body mass weekly. One week before euthanasia, fasting glucose and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test (IPITT) were assessed. At euthanasia, blood was collected, and the liver and adipose tissue were weighed. Insulin, leptin, adiponectin, resistin, tumoral necrosis factor alpha (TNF&#945;), interlekin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) were measured by an Elisa assay. The HOMA-IR index was calculated based on fasting glucose and insulin. Insulin, resistin, leptin and HOMA-IR were higher in HF-L and HF-O groups compared with the remainder groups (P < 0.0001). IL-6 was higher in the HF-L group compared with the other groups (P < 0.0005), whereas adiponectin levels were the lowest (P < 0.0001). The amount of both subcutaneous and visceral fat depots was the highest in the HF-L group, and they also had increased adipocyte diameter. However, visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio was higher in HF-L and HF-O groups compared with the remainder groups. Additionally, HF-L and HF-O groups showed increased hepatic triglyceride content and steatosis. Our data allow us to conclude that the type of lipid instead of its amount is important for determining adipose tissue distribution, carbohydrate metabolism, hepatic triglyceride accumulation and steatosis in mice fed a high-fat diet.
